Screenshot of YouTube video (paused at 1:28) showing a young woman in pigtails, dressed in a yellow top with a wide neckline and blue jeans, sits cross-legged atop a cooler on a rooftop, with other rooftops visible in the distance. She wears a red pendant with a glowing white light at its center and is smiling at a young man opposite her. The man is wearing an open blue button-down shirt and green pants, gazing downwards with a slight smile.
A compilation of selected comments trashing the microphone-enabled pendant follows, reading:
amazing. at 1:28 you can see the guy decide there won’t be any further dates
The creepy music is doing the exact opposite of what you want this ad to do. You want this to be a normal thing that isn’t weird at all and your music says “black mirror”.
The day you call a listening device “Friend” is the day you lose your humanity
Here comes the next MKBHD worst reviewed product 😂
so basically a bluetooth microphone that listens everything that you say, and that sends it to a chatGPT wrapper.
Don’t need this if you’re schizo already 🥰
To be fair, lots of us have wanted to wear a microphone that sends us lowercase text messages pretending to be our very human friend.
how fucking difficult is it to just make a comm badge-shaped device that provides an actually half-usable voice assistant with the TNG computer voice??
COMPUTER TURN OFF THAT NOISE
It sucks so much that there’s generative AI that can have interesting conversations and look anything up for me, but for my voice assistant I have to use Siri
it feels like the ultimate proof that these AI techbros have no fucking clue what they’re doing, if they had any semblance of a clue they’d have started by enhancing voice assistants and letting you use voices from pop culture.
It’s so blitheringly obvious, but no, instead they shit out something that is objectively worse than what apple has had for several years now, SOMEHOW…
